Keep Calm And Carry Yarn: A Knitting And Crochet Podcast

This is Alyson's month for projects! She has three finished objects to share, including her beautiful Luteola stole and a pair of nålebinding (knotless knitting) mittens. If you've never heard of nålebinding, definitely have a listen; it's so interesting! Plus Alyson is chatting about the yarn shops of Oslo (featuring really bad Norwegian pronunciations). Big news from Vivian: she's moving to Virginia! Less big news from Vivian: she made a trip to New York City. ------------------------- Quiz: https://bzfd.it/2Z4dIso Sagitta shawl: https://bit.ly/2KyxNPH Cœur battant sweater: https://bit.ly/2LHNAfx Luteola stole: https://bit.ly/2t7CJRQ Nålebinding resource: https://bit.ly/2Nb17gm INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/kcacypodcast ETSY: http://pearlandplum.etsy.com WEBSITE: http://kcacypodcast.wordpress.com RAVELRY: http://bit.ly/2mirMdK Theme music: Carpe Diem Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License https://bit.ly/1b8Hyff

We're kicking off the Colorwork KCAL! Mostly by talking about what we're planning on making: sheep mittens for Vivian and a cowl for Alyson. But of course, Vivian's WIPs involve colorwork anyway.

It's a big WIP day for Alyson because she's loading up projects to take on holiday. Not to mention, there's a glorious FO for Alyson too.

New year, new episode! But before we get on with all the new projects to come in 2019, we're reflecting back on all that we accomplished in 2018. Neither of us are professional crafters, but we've finished an impressive number of projects, if we do say so ourselves. And if we didn't prove it before, Vivian is indeed the Queen of Hats, as shown by the eleven hats she's made this past year!

Things to look forward to in this episode? Alyson and Vivian being typical Anglophiles, talking about Jane Austen and Doctor Who.

You win some and you lose some. In Vivian's case, you mostly lose some! There's the obscene knit fail (you'll just have to listen to find out more) and a sort of lose-win not-really-macrame macrame plant hangers. One thing that's definitely an absolute win? Alyson is working on her crochet sock for the massive #sockcal2018 Oh, and you know us, there's plenty of chit chat about other non-crafty things, mostly TV shows to be honest.

We're just regular crazy Asians, but we cannot stop talking about Crazy Rich Asians the movie... Alyson even has a Crazy Rich Asians themed WIP! Vivian has gone a bit more traditional with updates on her color work Engi sweater (spoiler: it has been a troublesome project).

Most productive crafter goes to Vivian this time around. Her Sock Arms sweater is finally off the needles, plus she's already started her next fingering weight sweater! Alyson has more excuses than projects, but one of her FOs is in celebration of her first pattern on Ravelry being available to download as a PDF. Swish!

Together again! Together again! We took a short break in our adventures, galavanting around Scotland to record a special video episode... because we're together again! All this vacationing means Vivian has had loads of time to knit knit knit, but her Sock Arms sweater is still on the needles! Alyson, meanwhile has lots of new WIPs to talk about- a shawl, a market bag, and a cushion. Plus we have lots of chat about what we've been getting up to.
